Units and organisations often need specialist equipment, components or capability faster than conventional sourcing routes can support.
Arcus provides rapid sourcing capability built around responsiveness, supplier access and operational understanding.
We work across specialist manufacturers, established suppliers and international partners to source and deliver equipment efficiently and responsibly.
Our value is not simply finding products, it is understanding the requirement behind them and responding with practical options quickly.
Speed only matters if the output is complete, field‑ready and usable on day one. Our rapid‑capability teams package everything an operator needs into four proven clusters that can be deployed as turnkey kits or mixed and matched to the mission.
Brings together expertise from across our group of businesses to create complete operational bases rapidly. We source and integrate rapid deployment tent systems for operational camps, complemented by modular flooring solutions for base establishment. Our climate control systems protect personnel and equipment through field conditions, while tactical illumination enables operational effectiveness in all lighting environments. Mobile power solutions provide complete base autonomy, ensuring operational camps can be established and sustained at operational speed.
We provide integrated medical solutions sourced and configured specifically for operational deployment. Our offering covers combat and operational first aid provision, specialist medical supplies and dressings for field use, and advanced medical equipment suitable for field deployment. We source concealed role 1 treatment shelters—mobile medical treatment facilities designed for rapid establishment—alongside equipment and systems for casualty extrication and evacuation. Every element is selected and integrated with operational medical requirements at the forefront.
We deliver integrated personal equipment configured for operator-specific operational requirements. This encompasses specialist operational clothing adapted for environmental conditions, integrated carrying systems optimized for mission profile, and protective systems tailored to threat assessment and operational role.
Equipment sourcing focuses on mission-specific gear and seamless component integration, ensuring soldiers have equipment configured precisely for their operational need.
We provide signature management solutions across all operational elements and environments. This includes camouflage systems and wrapping for tactical mobility, concealment and signature management solutions for operational bases, and wrapping and covering systems for asset concealment. Our personnel-focused solutions deliver signature-managed clothing and personal camouflage systems, while multi-spectral tent fabrics and camouflage integration ensure complete operational signature management from base infrastructure through to individual deployment.
